The book explores the evolving role of American vice presidents in foreign policy since World War II, focusing on five influential figures: Richard Nixon, Walter Mondale, George Bush, Dan Quayle, and Al Gore. It examines whether their involvement benefited presidential administrations and what lessons can be learned for future vice presidents. By posing critical questions about the effectiveness and potential of vice presidents in international affairs, the study serves as an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the vice presidency's impact on foreign relations.
